We love it here and the balance of "would we want to battle snow, ice and cold?" or love out new place for what it gives us....Sun, warmth and a slower pace of living?
No it’s not an oddity of FL. I’ve lived in several States. All transplants miss something from their previous city. It’s only natural to want the best of your last home and your home now. FL/TV is a nice place to live but it’s not utopia. However, the pros outweigh the cons hence we choose FL/TV.
